Press PEX-AL-PEX Fittings (F5) Installation Instruction

Installation guide for size from 14-32

press pex-al-pex fittings (F5) installation for size from 40-75

Installation guide for size from 40-75
 
 
1. PEX-AL-PEX Pipe and fitting preparation before pressing
 
 

Step 1: Cutting the PEX-AL-PEX pipe

Cut the pipe vertically and clean the cutting head.

 
 

Step 2: Rounding and beveling

Round and bevel the end holes with a reamer. (Picture 1.2 and 1.3)
Attention: The PEX-AL-PEX pipe end hole must be beveled correctly in case of damage on the O-rings during fitting installation and also to let the press PEX-AL-PEX fitting insert slide into the pipe easily.

 
 

Step 3: Inserting

Choose the right size sleeved-fitting for the PEX-AL-PEX pipe (normally for sizes from 14 through 32,the PEX-AL-PEX fittings were already integrated with sleeves),then aim the multilayer pipe end at the ring-shape hole of the fitting integrated with sleeve(as fitting insert and integrated sleeve come into a ring-shape) and slide the PEX-AL-PEX fitting insert into the pipe until it reaches the plastic block. Check the inserting depth by looking through the inspection holes on the sleeve shoulder to ensure that the PEX-AL-PEX pipe is completely inserted.

Attention: Slide the PEX-AL-PEX fitting insert into the multilayer pipe until the pipe end tightly reaches the block on the fitting. Otherwise it will decrease the effect of the pressing.
 
 
2. Ardi SYQ manual tool preparation and pressing

(1) Selecting jaw.
According to the size of press PEX-AL-PEX fitting, select the jaw with relevant size by the mark on the surface. The mark on the jaw stands for the size of fittings that they work with.

(2) Installing jaw on to the Tool.
Open the handles, then loose the nuts, which are on the jaw-reception groove by a wrench. Placing the jaw into jaw-reception groove, make sure the two marked sides with number are on the same plane, and then tighten the nuts back.

(3) Adjusting the PEX-AL-PEX Pressing Tool.
After jaw inserting is finished, close the handles until the two cross-sections are totally closed. Tighten the adjusting screw until the jaw is completely close and cannot be shaken by hand. Tightening signal is marked on the tool.
(4) Open the Pressing Tool and position the tool right onto the sleeve (Picture 1.4).
(5) Close the handles until the two touch points on the handles touch each other (Picture 1.5).
(6) While the jaw is completely closed, the handles will be self-locked. Open the handles and remove the pressing tool from the fitting and installation is accomplished (Picture 1.6).
